Herb-Coated Filet Mignon

It doesn't get much easier than this. If you can turn on your broiler, chop some herbs, and open a jar of mustard, then you have a simple and elegant dish. Turn it into a meal by adding sautéed spinach and half a baked potato with reduced-fat sour cream and prepared horseradish.
